Oh man sounds like you digitizer has gone bad. I've seen this a couple times. My friends Samsung and my daughters inspire has a dead spot. hope you can get it covered under insurance.

What Rom are you on? For a workaround for some things like notifications window, you can configure what your capacitive buttons can do (I.e. long press home button) to activate notifications.
Aside from that, I'm sorry to hear that you may have a failure in the phone

Sounds like the digitizer, but try flashing the ruu for your phone, if that doesn't help it time to send it of to HTC for repairs. It will be covered under the warranty.

Ok then. Go into your Viper Tweaks section. There at the bottom you'll find all of the various ways you can modify the Rom.
Select Buttons. From there you can see where you'll be able to change and customize what the capacitive (3 lit up buttons) will do. You can assign them from there.
Make sure if the tweak you perform needs to be updated (refresh button on top right side of tweaks window) or some changes require a quick reboot.
I looked and one option for you is to have a button long pressed to toggle the status bar.
Good luck

From what you pictures show.... the dead spot is opposite to the captivate buttons. All the tweeks on that are just for changing the button operation for ui.

I don't think theres a other way to unlock honestly...
I DO know theres a way to remap the buttons, so that you would (as example) be able to use the volume buttons for unlocking the screen. But I would have no idea how it actually works, too long ago since I saw it somewhere...
But about your power/unlock button, did it function normally before, or has it been bad since you got the phone?
Maybe there's some dirt or something in the button blocking it partly?

I have the same problem with the power button. It's not your fault, it's just the wrong way the button was made.
I use 2 apps to lock/unlock my phone by shake( and you can also unlock by hand gestures over the sensor- next to the front camera). You can try ShakeMe and you can also try to use Advanced Screen Control. Just install these 2 apps and play with the sensitivity and you'll find the perfect fit.
These 2 apps seem to be the best out of the bunch that you can find on the Play store.
Tell me if they work!

Try holo it is light uses less ram (don't remember if it has the function)

If you root, go to /System/Usr/Keylayout/
Edit Generic.kl file.
Adding 'WAKE' after Volume down and up.
Then go to setting>security>screen lock to none
Maybe some other expert member can figure out how to make this working when enable screen lock.
Sorry my english.

You can have screen lock on and use volume down to unlock:
- With a root access file manager like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer go to /system/usr/keylayout
- Open in text editor file fih_gpio-keys.kl
- Look for key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
- Replace the "VOLUME_DOWN" with "POWER".
- Save and reboot.
This essentially maps your volume down key as a power button. If you need to reduce the volume push volume up then use the on screen slider to set volume

......it worked for me am hoping that a new power button will fix it properly

Power button broke?? this will help you surely

Hey guys i am back from my holiday!!!!! so here is some help for you which i learned on the way!!
Hey guys i have a funbook p300 and it fell on the road (got a crack on the screnn and the power button broken!!!!) i tried the button remap app but it didn't work ( i tried many other apps including the auto screen on, fix power button and many more...)
The only thing which worked was the app called AWESOME ON OFF
you can get it from playstore- it will help-
You just have to pickup your phone and- voila your phone/tab is on...
good app- will tell you if i find more- (it has both versions- paid and free
:good:

I've been using this app for the broken power button on my Droid RAZR and to lock the screen I use LMT launcher's double swipe down gesture with key = 26(power button). I find the awesome off option a bit of a hassle.
This app causes wakelocks however.

This is awesome, thanks!

So hey guys i found a new app named Gravity Screen. you can download it from playstore. it has a special feature in which when you move your phone to a special angle it will switch off and when moved to a certain angle it will switch on. so those of you out there whose powerbutton is broken and don't have a proximity sensor, this will help you

Yes, its a great app.. I use too due broken power button

You can also use the command "adb shell input keyevent 26" to turn the screen on/off.

Power Key problems

Recently my power button has gone haywire when i press it, it registers as a long press and brings up the power menu. my screen will cut off and come up randomly sometimes it brings up the power menu. im currently running the latest version of MOAR but couldn't find anything to remap/disable the hardware keys. Does anyone know of an rom that will let me remap/disable the hardware keys or an app that would let me do the same. any help is appreciated thanks in advance.

You can always try "button savior" from google play but if you want a rom that has navigation keys then there are tons such as illusions rom and most of those other 4.2.2 roms

Solved my problem partially with button savior but don't is there a way to disable the hardware key?

The power button failure is a known issue with the S3. They usually replace the phone. FYI. It's commonly known as 'sudden death syndrome'

I looked up the SDS and some aspects of this lead me to believe this isint my issue what I'm having my power button ( I'm guessing due to using over time ) has become sensitive is the best way to put it the slightest touch will bring up as I did a long press to bring up the power menu so having it in my pocket will randomly bring it on and bring the power menu up. I'm still trying to figure out how to disable the key its self. If anyone had any input on how to disable it that would be a good temp fix till I can get an replacement
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

Well I disabled mine, just pulled the damn thing off and made a shortcut to shut the screen off....works for now until I get it replaced.

To follow up on this, a month and a half later I put my button back in. Guess what, works perfectly.
.....and time to sell lmao

Looks like your power button got hard sticked in "Pressed" condition.
Try removing the stock cover and check the functionality of button.
And button remapping will be working only when device in fully booted.

I don't think so dude because sometimes if I press the key repeatedly the key do works and I can feel the key being pressed. If I take my phone to service centre they will atleast take a week

It was a hardware prob...
I got my pcb replaced by servicecentre...
p.s If possibe delete this thread
